Charm ID's

[Aeternalis the Abyssal Alchemist]

I was trying to see which charm corresponds to which ID in the game files, just to see if I could try and mod a few of their notch costs. However, I found out that they are not listed in the same order as they are in the game.

Does anyone know what they are? Or how to find out?

So far, I have figured out that Fragile Strength is charm_25 (since its the only charm that is both breakable and costs 3 slots), and Void Heart is charm_36 (since its the only charm with a cost of zero).

charm information regarding the Kingsoul;
- Root's White Fragment: royalcharmstate_1
- Wyrm's White Fragment: royalcharmstate_2
- Completed Kingsoul: royalcharmstate_3
Kingsoul's 5 notch cost is hardcoded, so it cannot be changed by anyone but the devs(not easily anyway).

And yes, I know that I could "trial & error" my way through this, but that would be extremely tedious since it would only affect new saves and I would have to change each value one at a time.

[Aeternalis the Abyssal Alchemist]

SO... apparently the charms are in the order that they used to be before the game was officially released... however I can only find one screenshot of the old charm menu, and it only shows about half of the charms.
By crossreferencing the image with the game code I was able to find the IDs for 20 of the charms, however I still need help identifying the 16 remaining charms.

so I've decided to just edit the charms one by one... sigh...
I'll update the list above whenever I make progress.

[Aeternalis the Abyssal Alchemist]

For those wondering how to edit charm costs:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.DLL
> { } -
_> PlayerData
__> SetupNewPlayerData

You will need a program such as DnSpy to gain proper access to the DLL files.
DnSpy can be downloaded here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/0xd4d/dnspy/branch/master/artifacts
The download folder contains numerous files required to run the program, two of which are executable files, one is for (x64), the other is for (x86). Since Hollow Knight is located in the (x86) program files, use the one called "dnSpy-86.exe".
Remember to create a copy of the DLL that you want to edit in case something goes wrong!
If dnSpy fails to launch properly, you probably don't meet the requirements described on their Github page, most likely that you lack the proper version of ".NET" or whatever.

You know you cna extract en_ui from the game's assets and find each charm's id there, right? If not, I can post all of them here for you

[Aeternalis the Abyssal Alchemist]

I already found all of them. Thanks anyway.

EDIT: But if you know how to edit the Kingsoul's cost, that would help. I just want to lower it from 5 to 4.

[Ahmy4k]

When you're finished you should prob make a guide about it.

[Aeternalis the Abyssal Alchemist]

I probably will make a guide, but I want to figure out if the kingsoul's cost can be edited first, I just can't find where it is in the game's code, though it could be hardcoded.

EDIT: I am also looking into using dnSpy to disable certain non-essential visual effects located in the "Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.DLL".
PSA: the game looks so much better without "Fisheye"(a visual effect in Unity that stretches things to look bigger than they actually are)!

[NerfyZygon]

Hey great work I lost my savefile and needed to know wich charms are wich! thanks!

[Avante Gardener]

Also suffered a lost save file to corruption (possibly saving during the Trail of Fools) This was a big help,

I see this is a post from 2017, nice to know it helped!

For anyone else, who would like an updated list of Charm numbers, a full list (1-40) is in the HK Modding API here:

It's the same as Grimmchild, "Charm_40".
If you need to change Grimmchild to Carefree Melody, set "grimmChildLevel" to 5.
